Funding Our Daily Ministry
Your pledge dollars directly support the day-to-day, month-to-month operations of Grace. From staff salaries and benevolence, to utilities, maintenance contracts, office supplies, and committee needs—your generosity keeps our church running. Like all of us, Grace has faced rising costs due to inflation, and our goal for the 2027 Campaign is to continue this upward growth so we can fully meet these increased operational expenses.
Stewardship vs. Capital Campaign
We are also incredibly encouraged by our ongoing Capital Campaign, which has already reached over 85% of our $270,000 goal for essential church property repairs.
Because we have two active campaigns, the Finance and Stewardship Ministry wants to gently remind everyone of the difference:
How to Submit Your 2027 Pledge
Your enclosed 2027 pledge card is held in strict confidence by the Grace staff; the Finance and Stewardship Ministry only reviews anonymous, aggregated totals.
Please submit your pledge by December 1, 2026, using one of the following methods:
Receiving your pledges by December 1 greatly assists our team in building an accurate and responsible budget for the coming year.
Thank you for your continued faith, partnership, and generosity.
Sincerely,
Finance and Stewardship Ministry Members
